7 Ways Being Non-Binary Is Like Being A Super-Hero

You may be gender non-conforming, but you do conform to being totally super.

1. People Won't Always Understand...

It's tough, but unfortunately some people won't appreciate your gender/awesome super abilities

2. ... And Some People Will Deny You Exist

Just like Stan Lee's Avengers cameo, despite overwhelming evidence some people are going to deny you exist. Ignore the haters.

3. Sometimes You'll Need To Use An Alias

Not everyone gets to be Tony Stark, so whether it's to deter pesky Daily Planet reporters or your conservative Grandma, sometimes you'll have to use the wrong name to avoid detection.

4. The Right Clothes Will Make You Feel A Lot More Powerful

Whether it's your binder, your favourite dress or a spandex spider-suit the right clothes can make all the difference between feeling like a hero and feeling like a zero.

5. You're better off in a team

Super heroes may argue (a lot) but at the end of the day they're better off together, and surrounding yourself with other friendly non-binary people can be the perfect support network

6. People Might Not Appreciate Your Weaknesses

Whether it's using a public bathroom or kryptonite, they'll be some things that you find uncomfortable or difficult that others might not understand. Don't worry about it though, all the best super-heroes struggle with some things.

7. It's Tough, But At The End Of The Day You're Incredible

Just like super-heroes, non-binary people have to deal with problems other people don't, but whether you have to fight a giant army of aliens or put up with being misgendered you can end every day knowing that you're super.
